    I followed the recipe practically to a T. The only thing I did differently is that when it asked to simmer the chicken after adding the honey uncovered, I thought it would get too dry, so I decided to cover. I allowed an additional 3 minutes or so of uncovered simmering. The chicken was perfectly cooked, however as anticipated, the chicken was dry. It wasn't horribly dry, but if I were to make this recipe again (which I don't think I will) I would cook the chicken covered for a longer amount of time, as well as cutting holes in the chicken prior to chicken so that the flavor can penetrate better. In addition to the issues with the dryness of the chicken, I personally wasn't "in love" with these flavors. I just didn't think they complimented each other that well. Not for me, or my husband.

    Yery Good ... I normally associate chicken with lemon, but the combination of orange juice and spices really worked well. I am still a Solo eater but the extra chicken kept it's flavor when refrigerated and became the basis of nice cold sandwiches for several days.

    A friend droped in as I was about to prepare this dish for the first time. It was easy to make and I had everything I needed for this recipe in the house already. It was great and I will make it again for sure. The only thing I might change is the amount of honey. I have a sweet tooth but I still found it a little on the sweet side.
